When, and where will this patch be in the tree ?

When I look on http://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/source, I can find
cvs-1.12.13 (from October 2005), and cvs-1.12.13a (from July 2006) in
feature, and cvs-1.12.13.1 in nightly build, but from July 2006.

Since this email is from September, I am assuming this patch is not
in any of the above version ? I also check at
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/src/zlib.c
and it says this file is from September 2nd, so before this patch surfaced.

I want to build cvs with this patch in it, as well as all the latest ones,
but I want to be able to put a reference in my documentations saying
"grabbed version x of CVS from here", so that the exact same version can
be recreated later if needed, without having to search for patches in the
mailing list...

Any idea when this is going to happen ?
